About Gene Potts Memorial

Cancer is a disease that affects not only the patient, but also their loved ones and caregivers. Chemotherapy is a common treatment for many types of cancer, but it can be a difficult and draining process for adult patients and their caregivers. The importance of us raising money for adult chemo patients and their caregivers is to ensure comfort during their most difficult moments.

What is Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. It is a common treatment for many types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. While chemotherapy can be effective in treating cancer, it can also be a difficult and draining process for adult patients and their caregivers. Patients may experience side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and hair loss, while caregivers may experience emotional and financial strain.

Need for fundraising

Raising money for adult chemo patients and their caregivers can help to ensure that they have the resources they need to manage their symptoms and cope with the emotional and financial strain of chemotherapy. Funds can be used to provide patients with comfort items such as wigs, blankets, and pillows, as well as support services such as counseling and transportation to and from appointments. Funds can also be used to provide caregivers with support services such as counseling and respite care.
